The reason why the house is damp in spring
Cantonese are not unfamiliar with "returning to the South". Every year in winter and spring, the temperature rises and falls sharply, resulting in significant changes in indoor and outdoor temperature difference. When the temperature of indoor objects is less than or equal to the "air dew point", water vapor condenses on the surface of the object to form a "water out" phenomenon, which is called "returning to the South".
The phenomenon of returning to the south is more serious in the south, which is related to the sea and humid air in the south. When "Huinan Tian" appears, the humidity of the air is nearly saturated, and the walls and even the ground will "gush water". Everywhere, there is a wet scene, and the air seems to be able to wring water out. The dense fog is the most characteristic representation of "returning to the South". According to the statistics of the meteorological station, the visibility can be reduced to 50 meters when the weather phenomenon is serious.

Citronella: boil water with Citronella, soak towel and wipe the floor after cooling down; citronella essential oil can also be used to replace it, which also has the effect of preventing bacteria and insects.
6. Clean the kitchen and bathroom more
Kitchens and bathrooms are high-risk areas with high humidity and are prone to mildew. The only way is to wash and wash the wall and floor frequently. After the wet water is wet, the mop must be used to remove the accumulated water; the cloth can also be dipped with washing powder to wash the wall and floor to prevent moisture; the most important thing is to keep the air exhaust fan open for a long time.

8. Warm salt water works wonders
Many people complain that the tile floor in the living room becomes a pure natural skating rink in a minute after returning to the south. If you slip, you can slide from the door to the sofa. What should we do? Many people will choose to spread a layer of newspaper on the ground, but after trampling, the dirty newspaper will affect the family health even more. In fact, a basin of warm salt water can solve the moisture-proof problem of the floor.
The mop is soaked in warm brine and then twisted to dry the floor. The evaporation speed of warm brine is faster than that of cold water, and the drying speed of the floor is also faster. Magnesium chloride and calcium chloride in salt can absorb water to prevent water vapor from condensing on the ground. After water absorption and drying, it will become small particles, and the drying time of the floor will be extended.
9. Washing powder can absorb moisture effectively
The wettest place in the house is the bathroom. Usually wet is one thing, when returning to the south, if you let the bathroom wet, the bathroom wall will not only mildew, but also produce a bad smell. The most commonly used moisture-proof small items in the home is the moisture absorption box, but the bathroom is not suitable to use the moisture absorption box bought by the supermarket. At this time, washing powder is a good helper for the bathroom moisture-proof.
Put the washing powder into small bags, then poke a few holes in the bag and put them in the corner where dehumidification is needed. The washing powder will become one piece after another after absorbing water. It is just right to take it to wash clothes, and it is not wasted at all. Choose scented washing powder can also make the bathroom full of dry and fresh flavor. At the same time, more exhaust fans should be opened. When exhausting, remember to close the bathroom door, try to keep the bathroom floor dry, sweep off the water on the floor, and avoid moisture condensation.
